ISPF option 3.8 is the OUTLIST UTILITY. It is an ISPF interface to the old "FIB" (Foreground Initiated Background) commands of CANCEL, OUTPUT, and STATUS. Probably the least used function in ISPF. > > > On Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:21:46 -0600, John McKown wrote: > > > >Everybody else where I work uses only SDSF. I'm weird > <grin>.

I do many things for my own "amusement" when I can. Also, if I write an HLASM "rmjes" command, it will be more CPU efficient than using the REXX API for SDSF. Most don't care about this. My shop does. Of course, this is why the majority of my code writing and testing is done on Sundays. There is nothing else going on. And we have already maxed the MSU usage for the month, so my messing around doesn't matter, cost wise. Not that anybody here is going to use this, other than perhaps myself. Right now, I'm working on an HLASM "lsenq" command to display ENQ information. It is based on what the QUERYENQ program does for REXX. But it will be using the ISGQUERY interface instead of GQSCAN. Writing UNIX code in HLASM is more difficult, for me, than batch or TSO. Likely due to my ignorance. No C compiler here. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
